Thanks to my screwdriver, I have discovered that the 12v line on the gamecube can be run off of 5v, possibly higher. The two power pins are next to each other, just bridge them and you get audio, which has been found by Electric rain that it is only used for the audio. This means:

Your wasting your money by buying 12v batteries just for that line
You can run the GC off of 1.9v 3.43v and 5v
You do not need a 12v step up regulator any more
Thinner, lighter portables can be made

I'm uploading a video right now; in which I am very enthusastic!

awesome! i'm using that to test what i have so far for my gcp

i hate how electronic part suppliers give you an option on their website to filter your searches so that you can find a certain part and no results come up!
